I am pleased to announce that Oracle VM Virtual Appliances for E-Business Suite Release 12.1.3 are now available from the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud:
Compatible with Oracle VM Manager and Oracle VM Virtualbox
These virtual appliances can be imported into Oracle VM Manager to
deploy E-Business Suite Linux 64-bit environments on compatible
server-class machines running Oracle VM Server. They
can also be imported into Oracle VM VirtualBox to create virtual machines
on a desktop PC or laptop.
Includes the entire EBS technology stack
The virtual appliances deliver the full software stack, including
the Oracle Linux 6.5 operating
system, Oracle E-Business Suite, and additional required technology
components.

Using these appliances
These appliances can be used to support the following scenarios:
Single node E-Business Suite 12.1.3 installation: Choose the single
node VISION Demo virtual appliance (Option 1 above) to create a
unified virtual machine with the EBS 12.1.3 database and application
tiers.
Multi-node E-Business Suite 12.1.3 installation: Create a multi-node
system using the RDBMS 12c database virtual appliance of choice
(either VISION or PROD) and the application tier virtual appliance.
That is, Option 2 or 3 above, followed by Option 4. You can then
add secondary application tiers using Option 5.
Operating system-only installation (Oracle Linux 6.5): The sparse
application tier virtual appliance (Option 5) includes the necessary
operating system packages, kernel parameter settings, and users
(oracle and applmgr) required to install Oracle E-Business Suite,
providing benefit for customers who plan to use Rapid Install for
their 12.1.3 installation.
